Foundation systems in buildings are designed and implemented in a variety of ways, and each one is used based on specific conditions, including soil characteristics, structure type, and structure loads. Below are some of the most important types of foundation systems:
Simple foundation: This type of foundation is used for buildings with low weight and less load bearing and has simpler designs. In this type of foundation, a part of the structure that is used as a base is placed directly on the ground.
Dense foundation: This type of foundation is used for structures with high weight and more load bearing. In this type of foundation, more foundations are regularly placed on the entire surface of the structure.
Deep foundation: In this type of foundation, the foundations that are placed directly on the soil, sink deeper than the soil surface to transfer the loads of the structure directly to the soil. This type of foundation is used for heavy structures and also for lands with special characteristics such as low soil resistance.
Iron beam foundation: In this type of foundation, metal beams are used as a base. This type of foundation is used for structures that give the most importance to the building with the environment and also for places with special characteristics such as soft and semi-soft soils.
Foundation foundation: In this type of foundation, foundations with a larger diameter and longer length are deeply embedded in the soil. This type of foundation is used for structures with high weight, as well as for soils that have low resistance and need to distribute the load at a greater depth.
Rubber foundation: In this type of foundation, a rubber pad is used as a base. This type of foundation is used to reduce the noise and vibrations of the building, as well as to increase the safety of the building against earthquakes.
In general, each type of foundation is designed and implemented for its own conditions and characteristics, and the most appropriate type of foundation should be selected based on soil characteristics, structure type, structure loads, and environment.
